Let’s be real here for a second. We know that there are many vegan dessert recipes out there. Usually, they suggest substituting the non-vegan ingredients with soy, almond, cashew, or oat products… And many of them suck. They can be bland, have a strange texture, or be too obviously ‘fake’. So it’s our pleasure to show you a meal prep recipe that doesn’t suck, and is actually quite good—Healthy vegan mint oreos! We love these especially because the texture is right on-point with original Oreo cookies. They feature crisp, crunchy cookies, with a smooth vegan cream cheese filling; and to boot they’re mint flavored!
Did you know these vegan mint Oreos are gluten-free too? How, you ask? By simply substituting white flour for almond flour! The added benefit with this substitution is that almond flour is also a great source of protein, coming in a 6g per cup! It also contains an impressive 3g of fiber as well, which this vegan mint Oreo meal prep recipe will fill you up. If you’ve never had baked goods made with almond flour, prepare yourself for a treat! We love using it because it imparts a naturally rich, buttery flavor to anything it’s baked with.
Plus, it’s keto, paleo, and Whole30-compliant too, so you can make baked goods tailored to your specific diet plan. If you want more desserts that have the trifecta of meal plan compliance (Keto, paleo, or Whole30), take a gander at these crazy good Almond Butter Fat Bombs, or Chocolate Almond Bark meal prep recipes so you can satisfy your sweet tooth in a health-conscious way!
Mint Frosting:
Traditional Oreos are made with real cocoa, and that’s partly why they’re so tasty. Don’t worry though, these healthier vegan mint Oreos also contain cocoa too! They just don’t have any refined sugar, wheat flour, or high-fructose corn syrup. That doesn’t mean they’re not rich, though—We found the vegan cream cheese to actually make them richer than regular Oreo cookies! Plus, our sweetening method is far superior to regular Oreos (the first thing on the ingredient list for them is sugar) because we use muscovado sugar and date syrup. Date syrup, if you didn’t know, is super sweet, yet it has 33% less sugar than white sugar. Muscovado, the darkest available sugar, also plays a role in creating more of a rich flavor, because it contains high amounts of molasses. Freakin’ sweet! ?
The Oreo is one such food that has an extensive number of changes made to it, since its conception on March 6, 1912. As of 2019, that makes the “Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie” over 107 years old! It wasn’t always officially “Oreo Chocolate Sandwich Cookie”, though... Oreos were first introduced by the National Biscuit Company (better known now as NABISCO) as the “Oreo Biscuit”, until 1921 when they renamed it the “Oreo Sandwich” in 1921. It wasn’t until 1974 that they were given the name Oreos, which it currently holds. Legend has it that the first Oreo was sold in Hoboken, New Jersey, to a grocer, and we hope your very first experience with these vegan mint Oreos is just as legendary!
